Hire a team of people to investigate scam jobs
Hello, I have been with PPH for a few months and within this time period I have had 4 people approach me with scam illegal jobs. I have had all correspondence with these people on here until it come to having to do and interview. Two of the people try to pull the same scam on within an hour of each other. Claiming they wanted to do interviews with me. I am scared with the latest two that the other people they contacted my have accepted the check from them and deposited it into there account. So my first suggestion is I would love to be hired by your company to cut down, find, research and send out a notice to the sellers and buyers when these incidents occur. Cyber criminals need to know this kind of acts against the sellers and the detriment they are doing to the buyers will not tolerated by this site. I know it is hard to stop all of them but for me to be on here for such a short time and to have encountered this many in such short period of time. This is proof there is a need for this type of team through People Per Hour is needed. I have gone through many freelance sites and I truly feel this site is the best I have ever come across. And I really don't want anyone to go through unneeded headaches and even legal battles just because they trusted someone that has offered them a job. I know some of these buyers pages are so good you would never think that it may be a scam. And that is where I come in there has to be a verification procedure in place to know if they are real buyers. And if they aren't and trying to scam the sellers then there are legal ramifications for the buyers. To be the first site to put procedures in place to help put a stop to cyber criminals would bring you so many sellers. Because finally we have someone that cares enough to fight and protect the people that are doing this because they have a life and family to take care of. So many peoples lives are destroyed because of the rise in cyber crimes. And so many people have no idea of what to look for when it comes to cyber crimes. Wouldn't it be great to be the first really take significant steps to stop these criminals from using your platform to further their illegal agendas? I know you are doing your best to help prevent these types of scams but as of now you don't have the manpower to dedicate themselves to this. But this really needs to change before it gets completely out of hand and starts give your site a bad name. These criminals know where they can go to commit their crimes I am just saying just don't let your site be one of them! Thank you for taking the time to read my suggestion it is greatly appreciated.
Warm regards,

I just have been scammed here in PPH. Some workers ask for partial payment and asks you to provide 20% of the payment then release the escrow payment. After that they runaway and you cannot do anything because you cannot put a comment anymore on their profile. Or there is no live chat or team here to talk to.
I hope there will be a team like you suggested that will work on scam or illegal activities.
Thanks!

I haven't been scammed yet but just looked up something that I thought sounded dodgy. This guy (Tod Williams) is advertising for Marketing people and he is a known scammer -

I too would happily help you find scammers on here for a small fee.

I can't remember. Think I just googled it. I applied for one of the positions and got an email back from him and thought it sounded too good to be true. I might be wrong but it sounds dodgy to me. Not sure what you can do about it but I would expect PPH to respond if you make a formal complaint.
